I was very surprised. My sister was a supermodel and we were in New York and I thought a lot of myself. She said I did not have a spiritual backbone. I was focused on material things. She said the man she was interested in would want true happiness and true fulfillment, not material things. It was so different from anything anyone had ever said to me that instead of running away I asked how someone comes to explore that spiritual life. She said you need a practice. Mine started with Kabbalah but for all of us it can be different. I proposed three months after we met.
